Aristotle and Natural Law lays out a new theoretical approach which
distinguishes between the notions of 'interpretation, '
'appropriation, ' 'negotiation' and 'reconstruction' of the meaning
of texts and their component concepts. These categories are then
deployed in an examination of the role which the concept of natural
law is used by Aristotle in a number of key texts. The book argues
that Aristotle appropriated the concept of natural law, first
formulated by the defenders of naturalism in the 'nature versus
convention debate' in classical Athens. Thereby he contributed to
the emergence and historical evolution of the meaning of one of the
most important concept in the lexicon of Western political thought.
Aristotle and Natural Law argues that Aristotle's ethics is best
seen as a certain type of natural law theory which does not allow
for the possibility that individuals might appeal to natural law in
order to criticize existing laws and institutions. Rather its
function is to provide them with a philosophical justification from
the standpoint of Aristotle's metaphysics.
